It's insulting for Serenity to be packaged with that crap.

I found Riddick to be extremely underrated. It was a decently fleshed out scifi flick that didn't overdo the action.

I agree I thought CoR was a pretty good movie. It had everything i expect from a SciFi movie: sick fight scenes, some sort of plot, and takes you away into another verse. Although if you start comparing CoR to the BDM its not even a contest.

They both are equally bad.

Considering how bad Pitch Black was, that says a lot.

Pitch Black wasn't a bad movie. It had funny, though somewhat overused, characters. Everyone had their problems, their quirks, and no one was the perfect hero.
More importantly, they didn't change to fit the plot. "But there was no plot!" you cry. Yeah, well, it was a horror flick. Little bit of unusual event to get people alone with scary monster, let the mayhem follow. Ok, so it really didn't have too much of a plot, per se. That's often times better than bad plots.
Besides, there was that really cool scene when the guy spits the alcohol over the flame, illuminating the monsters about to kill him.

Chronicles on the Riddick wasn't terrible either. The Necro-villianess and her husband were terrible actors, and obviously little Shakespeare theivery was happening, but that's the worst of the movie. As I said, I'm going from the theatrical release, not the director's cut. I don't like the added scenes, too much information and the wrong times. We don't need to be bombarded with what was already subtley hinted at quite well.

Anyways, Chronicles of Riddick had a solid, but non-linear plot. What do I mean by non-linear? It wasn't Lord of the Rings style. We got a ring, must destroy it. When it's destroyed story is over. I like how the characters react in the moment to what is happening, have changing motives and desires. So, I mean the plot was fluid.

Most importantly, Riddick is bad ass. I loved his lines in Pitch Black, thought they definately went overboard in the cheesy-dumb-badass lines in Chronicles. "It's half a gram to heavy in the hilt"

Pitch Black: 7/10
Chronicles of Riddick: 6/10
Serenity: 10/10
Starship Troopers 2: 20/0.000000000001

I thought Pitch Black was better then CoR...

I saw Pitch Black on TV after I saw CoR in the theaters. I was bored one night in Chicago on a buisness trip and had no idea what it was other than the movie poster out front.

All I could think after watching CoR was 'Conan with lasers...' Right down to him sitting on the throne at the end with the voiceover ponderings. It felt totaly ripped off of Conan to me. Not that that's necessarily all that bad if you like Conan movies . Just not very original.

I tried to look down on Vin Diesel. Then The Pacifier came out. I didn't laugh that hard again until Serenity hit screens.

At this point, yeah, I consider myself a fan.

He'd be great in Firefly. I can see Badger hiring him on as a thug (kinda like Crow), then it turns out he's way smarter than Badger, and he pretty much ends up running Badger's operation.

Think Jayne's looks, Mal's wit, and Zoe's badassitude.

I agree -- and never would've thought of it, myself. He'd be an interesting opponent to our Browncoats -- although, I can't see him being Alliance -- more likely as you said above, some thug who outsmarts his superiors.

Can't see him as a browncoat, either. More of a general "I do what I want!" kinda guy.
